Annual awards brunch recognizes
local individuals and organizations

On Thursday, May 29, Community Missions Inc. will hold its 22nd
annual awards brunch at the LaSalle Yacht Club to honor many of the agency's
volunteers and supporters. The event allows the agency to demonstrate its
appreciation for the individuals and organizations that help make Community
Missions' work possible.

Each
year, a number of volunteers who have generously donated their time throughout
the year are honored. Award winners from six of the organization's departments
are recognized, too. In addition, Executive Director Robyn Krueger presents a
director's award, and the Sharon Kroetsch Memorial Award is bestowed upon a
chosen board member.

Since
its founding in 1925, Community
Missions has provided a unique blend of referral, crisis, community
support and residential services for youth and adults. In 2013, the missions'
crisis services programs served more than 75,000 meals and provided nearly
11,000 nights of care to neglected or abused children and homeless adults.
Additional agency programs serve adults and youth with psychiatric
disabilities, parolees, at-risk youth and other underserved populations in both
residential and recovery-oriented settings.
